COVID Art

[flower girl]

I recently read an interview with the music composer Arvo Pärt where he said, " Any adversity makes artists move closer to what is important, essential."

You can read the full interview here.

I then ran across a Facebook post from a fellow Floridian out of Tampa named Guido Maniscalco, who is compiling a photographic journal entitled  "Desolation in the time of Corona." (Guido Maniscalco's post here is open to the world, so hopefully linking to his page here is okay.)

The photos are very good and convey all the elements of isolation.  His work here made me wonder who else out there is now producing really good art that reflects the drastic changes we are all experiencing now.

Linking in to your comment about Hopper on the Lost Diners thread, I thought you might like this, flower girl.

This is almost haunting and so relevant now. Thanks for the link.  Oh, that Hopper were a fly on the wall today in just about any room. Was taken aback by the empty cafe in the modern allusion.
